Abstract
A three-piece self-retaining conduit anchoring device is disclosed for connecting a co-axial cable assembly with a support structure, including an inner sleeve member, an outer sleeve member concentrically arranged about the inner sleeve member, and a collar member concentrically arranged about the outer sleeve member. One end of the collar member abuts one side of the support, the other end of the collar member being supported against axial displacement by flange portions at the corresponding ends of the inner and outer sleeve members. The outer sleeve member includes a plurality of circumferentially arranged external resilient prongs that engage the other side of the support, which outer sleeve member is connected against axial displacement relative to the inner sleeve and collar members. Consequently, the collar flange and the outer sleeve prongs grip opposite surfaces of the support structure to rigidly connect the anchoring device thereto. Internal and external seal members may be provided for preventing the introduction of moisture and foreign matter into the cable assembly.
